Chapter 1 Description & Specifications
1.1 General Description
The Industrial Climate Engineering (ICE) CEA and CGA are a series of vertical wall-mounted air
conditioning systems that provide heating, cooling, and ventilation for electronic equipment shelters,
process control centers, and other applications with high internal heat gains. The series includes multiple
sizes and nominal cooling capacities from 12,000 to 60,000 BTUH. Resistance heating elements are
available in various wattages.
• CEA: Standard Efficiency Models
Our most popular model. ICE CEA air conditioners are available in cooling capacities of 1, 1.5, 2,
2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5 and 6 tons (12,000 BTUH to 72,000 BTUH).
• CGA: High Efficiency Models
Our most efficient wall mount air conditioners. Electronically commutated indoor fan motors combined
with highly efficient scroll compressors result in increased energy efficiency.
The CEA/CGA Product Data Sheets have detailed information on the capacities and efficiencies for
each model.
See Appendix A for instructions on field installation of electric heat.
ICE CEA & CGA air conditioners feature an exclusive electronic control board. The control board
consolidates several of the electrical components and improves the air conditioner’s reliability. The
control board replaces the blower relay, the lockout relay, the compressor time delay and the timed
low pressure bypass. In addition, the control board has LED’s to indicate operating status and fault
conditions to assist the service technician. A complete description of functions of the control board is
in Section 1.6.
All ICE models are designed for easy installation and service. Major components are accessible for
service beneath external panels.
All units have internal disconnects (optional on 380V and 575V). Follow local codes for external
disconnect requirements.
These units have a 0-15% manual outside air damper as standard equipment. All models are available
with an optional factory installed economizer for 100% free cooling with outside air.

05/2021 Rev.2
Refrigerant Cycle (Cooling Mode)
ICE CEA & CGA air conditioners use R-410A refrigerant in a conventional vapor-compression refrigeration
cycle to transfer heat from air in an enclosed space to the outside. A double blower assembly blows
indoor air across the evaporator. Cold liquid refrigerant passing through the evaporator is boiled into gas
by heat removed from the air. The warmed refrigerant gas enters the compressor where its temperature
and pressure are increased. The hot refrigerant gas condenses to liquid as heat is transferred to outdoor
air drawn across the condenser by the condenser fan. Liquid refrigerant is metered into the evaporator
to repeat the cycle.
Heating Mode
A wall-mounted thermostat controls the heating cycle of models which incorporate resistance heating ele-
ments. On a call for heat, the thermostat closes the heat relay to energize the indoor fan and the resistance
elements. Except on units with the optional dehumidification kit, the compressor is locked out during the
heating cycle. Please see Appendix A for instructions on field installing electric heaters.
Economizer Operation
The economizer is a regulated damper system with controls. The damper regulates the circulation of outside
air into the enclosure (when the outdoor air conditions are suitable) to reduce the need for mechanical
cooling, save energy, and extend compressor life.
Depending upon the options selected, the damper responds to the enthalpy of the outdoor air. On a call
for cooling from a space thermostat, it operates as follows:
When the enthalpy of the outdoor air is below the set point, the outdoor air damper is proportionally open
(and return air damper is proportionally closed) to maintain between 50°F and 56°F (10°C to 13°C) at
the mixed/discharge air sensor. Integral pressure relief allows the indoor air to exit the shelter through
the air conditioner.
When the enthalpy of the outdoor air is above the set point, the outdoor air damper closes to its minimum
position. A call for cooling from the space thermostat brings on mechanical cooling.
A built-in adjustable minimum position potentiometer controls the amount of outdoor air admitted to
meet minimum ventilation requirements.
1.6 Optional Controls & Packages
Hard Start Kit
Used on single phase equipment to give the compressor higher starting torque under low voltage conditions.
Generally not recommended on units with scroll compressors.
Extreme Duty Package (not available on CEA1012)
The Extreme Duty Package allows selected ICE air conditioners to operate in extremely cold and hot
ambient conditions. The Extreme Duty Kit is always factory installed. Non-economizer air conditioners
will operate from 0° F to 131° F (-18° to 55°C). Economizer equipped air conditioners will operate from
-40° F to 131° F (-40° to 55°C).
The Extreme Duty Package includes a suction line accumulator, thermal expansion valve (TXV), crank-
case heater, hard start kit, an auto reset, high pressure switch and an outdoor thermostat and fan cycle
switch. The fan cycle control is standard on all ICE air conditioners and operates based upon the liquid
line pressure. The outside thermostat closes whenever the outside temperature is below 50°F (10°C)
and opens when the outside temperature is 50° F (10°C) or higher. Whenever the temperature is below
50°F (10°C), the fan cycle switch is in the circuit; when temperatures are 50° F (10°C) or higher, the fan
cycle switch is not in the circuit. The fan cycle control is used with a TXV to prevent excessive cycling
or "hunting" of the TXV.

05/2021 Rev.2
Protective Coating Packages
Typically only the non-economizer air conditioners are used in corrosive environments, but units with
an economizer are also available with corrosion protection. Two corrosion protection packages are
offered- one for the condenser section (the Coastal Environmental package) and the other for the entire
unit (the Coat-All Package).
The Coastal Environmental Package includes:
• Corrosion resistant fasteners
• Sealed or partially sealed condenser fan motor
• Protective coating applied to all exposed internal copper and metal in the condenser section
• Protective coating on the condenser coil (Luvata Insitu®) contains ES2 (embedded stainless steel
pigment) technology.
The Coat all Package includes all of the above, plus:
• Protective coating on the evaporator coil (Luvata Insitu®) contains ES2 (embedded stainless steel
pigment) technology
• Protective coating on exterior and interior components and sheet metal. (Note: the internal sheet
metal which is insulated, bottom outside panel, and the internal control box are not coated)
Note: The CEA1012 is available with the protective coatings and corrosion resistant fasteners, but does
not have a sealed condenser fan motor.
Hot Gas Bypass (Non-Economizer Models Only) Not available on the CEA1012/1024
Used in specialty applications; i.e., Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) buildings, to prevent magnetic
voltage disturbance caused by compressor cycling. Two hot gas bypass option packages are available
to allow operation to 20°F (-7°C) or minus 20°F (-29°C). Please refer to Hot Gas Bypass Application
Bulletin for details.
Electric Reheat Dehumidification Not available on the CEA1012
A humidity controller allows electric heat and cooling to operate simultaneously. ICE air conditioners
equipped with the dehumidification option allow the indoor humidity of the controlled environment
to be maintained at or below a certain humidity set point. These units do not have the ability to add
humidity to the building.

IMPORTANT
The electrical wire and breaker or fuses must be sized for simultaneous operation
of the electric heater and the air conditioner. Refer to the data sticker on the unit or
the appropriate Air Conditioner Product Data Sheet for the sizing information.
Dehumidification is achieved by operating mechanical cooling in conjunction with electric reheat. The
strip heat is sized approximately to the sensible capacity of the total tonnage of the machine (i.e., on a
24,000 BTU unit the strip heat is sized at approximately 20,000 BTU). Because the strip heat is sized
to the approximate sensible cooling capacity, only selected models are available.
Operation:
When the humidity rises above the set point on the humidity controller both mechanical cooling and
electric reheat operate to temper the air and lower the humidity. If the temperature in the controlled
environment rises above the set point of the thermostat and the unit is operating in the dehumidification
mode, the call for cooling will override the call for dehumidification and the strip heat is disengaged
until the thermostat is satisfied. This assures the environment temperature is maintained as first priority
and humidity control is second.
In applications where a shelter has redundant air conditioning units and is controlled by a lead lag
controller (CommStat 4, CommStat 3 HVAC Controller), most times the dehumidification option is
9 ICE CEA/CGA1012–1060 Wall Mount AC I&O Manual
05/2021 Rev.2
only necessary on one of the two units. It is possible for one unit to be operating in the cooling mode
while the unit with dehumidification is operating at the same time. If the cooling unit does not maintain
the shelter temperature set point, the unit with dehumidification will go into the cooling mode. It does
not matter whether the unit with dehumidification is the lead or lag unit.
Three Phase Voltage Monitor
Continuously measures the voltage of each of the three phases. The monitor separately senses low
and high voltage, voltage unbalance including phase loss and phase reversal. An LED indicator glows
when all voltages are acceptable. Automatically resets when voltages and phases are within operating
tolerances. Not required on 1ø units.
Dirty Filter Indicator (Not Available on the CEA1012)
A diaphragm type of indicator measures the air pressure on either side of the filter and when the pressure
drops below the set point, a red LED is illuminated. The set point is adjustable.
Protective Coil Coatings
Either the condenser or evaporator coil can be coated, however, coating of the evaporator coil is not
common. For harsh conditions, e.g., power plants, paper mills or sites were the unit will be exposed to
salt water, the condenser coil should be coated. Note: Cooling capacity may be reduced by up to 5%
on units with coated coils.
Thermal Expansion Valve
Available on all ComPac® air conditioners. Improves performance in hot ambient temperatures.
High Filtration (Not Available on the CEA1012)
Selected units are built with larger blowers/motors for use with higher efficiency filters with MERV
ratings of 11, 13 and 14 when tested to ASHRAE 52.2. Units with economizers have a pre-filter on the
outside air.
Lockable Disconnect Access Cover Plate
The access plate to the service disconnect switch can be equipped with a lockable cover.
Cold Climate Kit (CEA1024-1060 and CGA1030-1060 units)
Controls and components which allow the units to operate in extremely cold temperatures. The kit
includes a suction line accumulator, thermal expansion valve (TXV), crankcase heater, hard start kit,
and an outdoor thermostat and fan cycle switch. The fan cycle control is standard on all ComPac air
conditioners and operates based upon the liquid line pressure. The outside thermostat opens whenever
the outside temperature is below 50°F (10°C) and closes when the outside temperature is 50°F (10°C)
or higher. Whenever the temperature is below 50°F (10°C), the fan cycle switch is in the circuit; when
temperatures are 50°F (10°C) or higher, the fan cycle switch is not in the circuit. The outdoor thermostat
is used with a TXV to prevent excessive cycling or “hunting” of the TXV.

Desert Duty (CEA1024-1060 and CGA1030-1060 units)


Controls and components which allow the units to operate in very hot ambients (131°F/55°C). Includes
a thermal expansion valve, a sealed condenser fan motor, slotted base pan and a sealed control box. A
closed loop design on the units insures that no outside air is introduced into the shelter.

Cabinet Color and Material


ICE CEA and CGA air conditioners are available in nine different cabinet colors -the standard beige,
white, gray, and others. The standard cabinet’s sides, top and front panels are constructed of 20 gauge
painted steel. As an option, these panels can be built of 16 gauge steel in beige & gray or .050 stucco
aluminum. When the 16 gauge painted steel or the aluminum is used, only the side, top and front panels
ICE CEA/CGA1012–1060 Wall Mount AC I&O Manual 10
05/2021 Rev.2
are 16 gauge or aluminum. Contact your ICE representative for color chips. The cabinet can also be
constructed of type 316 stainless steel. Two stainless steel cabinet constructions are available- the
complete cabinet, including most internal sheet metal or only the exterior sheet metal

1.7 Electrical Operation


The compressor and condenser fan are energized with a contactor controlled by a 24 VAC pilot signal.
Some compressors incorporate an internal PTC crankcase heater that functions as long as primary power
is available. The heater drives liquid refrigerant from the crankcase and prevents loss of lubrication
caused by oil dilution. Power must be applied to the unit for 24 hours before starting the compressor.
The condenser (outside fan) motor is energized by the same contactor. However, the motor is cycled on
and off by the low ambient control (see low ambient control 1.6).
The indoor evaporator fan motor is controlled by the fan purge on the electronic control board.

05/2021 Rev.2
1.8 Economizer Components (Economizer Equipped Models Only)
Damper Actuator:
The damper actuator is a 24V motor that modulates the position of the damper blade. It is capable
of driving a full 90 degrees within 90 seconds. The assembly has a spring return to close the damper
during power outage.
Economizer changeover control (W1 Jumper)
The economizer can be controlled by either an enthalpy sensor or a dry bulb sensor. On a call for
cooling from the wall-mounted thermostat, if outdoor conditions are suitable, the sensor will open the
damper and admit outside air (i.e., economizer free cooling). If the outdoor ambient is too hot or humid
(enthalpy sensor only), the sensor will place the actuator in the closed or minimum open position and
activate mechanical cooling. The compressor is locked-out during the economizer cooling mode.
During the testing of the air conditioner at the factory, the control board has been configured for the
sensor in the air conditioner. There should be no need to change the sensor configuration. If an enthalpy
sensor is being used, pins 1 & 2 should be jumpered on the board. If a dry bulb sensor is being used,
pins 2 & 3 should be jumpered. See item 1 in Figure 4 for the location of this jumper.
Economizer changeover control setting - Enthalpy Sensor
The enthalpy sensor responds to the total heat content of the outdoor air to provide the changeover
to outside air for free cooling. The control board must be configured for proper operation of the
economizer by selecting the desired changeover temperature. The desired temperature is selected
by four dip switches on the board. See item 9 in Figure 4 for the location of the dip switches.
1. Selecting the set point for the enthalpy sensor. On the board there are four dip switches – 1, 2,
3 & 4 - that determine the ambient temperature at which the economizer damper opens. These
dip switches correspond to the following temperatures:
DIP Switch # Previous Honeywell controller setting Temperature °F/°C
All 4 Switches Down A 73°/23.8°C
1 A 73°/23.8°C
2 B 70°F/21.1°C
3 C 67°F/19.4°C
4 D 63°F/17.2°C

2. Gently push the dip switch UP to select the desired set point temperature. The factory setting is
for dip switches number 1, 2, & 3 to be in the Down position and #4 to be in the Up position.
With dip switch #4 in the Up position, the economizer damper will begin to open when the
ambient temperature is 63°F/17.2°C.
3. Only one switch should be in the Up position.
Note: having all four switches in the down position is the same setting as having the #1 switch
in the Up position.

DANGER
Sever hazard. The economizer contains moving parts capable of causing
serious injury or death. Disconnect power before removing the covering panel.
Economizer changeover control – Dry Bulb Sensor
The dry bulb sensor only responds to the dry bulb temperature of the outside air and ignores the humidity.
The sensor has eight set points. The factory setting is 58°F (14.5°C). These set points can be changed
by moving the dip switches on the top of the dry bulb sensor. See Fig. 2.
ICE CEA/CGA1012–1060 Wall Mount AC I&O Manual 14
05/2021 Rev.2
Figure 2. Dry Bulb Sensor

Once either the enthalpy or dry bulb sensor has determined that the outside air is suitable for cooling,
the damper will open. The mixed air sensor will limit the air temperature delivered to the space by
modulating the damper blade to mix warm indoor air with cooler outdoor air to provide a constant
50°F to 56°F (10°C to 13.5°C)

Mixed Air Sensor:


The mixed air sensor is a thermistor mounted on a bracket adjacent to the right side of the blower
assembly. The thermistor senses the air temperature entering the structure, and provides a signal to the
economizer controller for modulating the position of the damper.

Minimum Position Potentiometer (W2 jumper):


The potentiometer controls the amount of outside air introduced in the building when the economizer
damper closes or the air conditioner is Off or in Mechanical Cooling. The factory setting is for the
damper to close completely when the unit is off or in Mechanical Cooling. (Pins 1 & 2 are jumpered)
If outside air is desired during mechanical cooling or whenever the indoor blower is running, jumper
pins 2 & 3. Refer to item 8 in Figure 4 for the location of the jumper.
If the potentiometer is enabled, the next step is to select how much outside air should be brought into
the building.
The potentiometer is adjustable from 0% to 100%. Setting the potentiometer to MIN means that the damper
will close completely and NO outside air will be brought into the building. Setting the potentiometer
to MAX means that the damper stays in the full OPEN position at all times. Factory setting is 50%.

Brand of Sensor Selection (W3 jumper)
Honeywell enthalpy and dry bulb sensors are currently the only brand of sensors used in the air conditioners.
Jumper W3 allows us to use alternative brands at a future date. On all current air conditioners, pins 1
& 2 are jumpered on W3. See item 4 in Figure 4.

2.1 Introduction

WARNING
Failure to observe the instructions contained in this document may result in personal
injury and/or property damage and may void the warranty. Read this manual before
installing, replacing or using this product.
CEA and CGA models are equipped with ICE’s proprietary Printed Circuit Board (PCB), which sets
the standard for the industry in flexibility, reliability and performance. This UL certified component is
engineered to optimize Heating, Cooling and Dehumidification operation while communicating valuable
information to the end user. Special features include 2-Stage operation with varying speed control
to optimize latent and sensible capacity, built in remote communication (MODBUS) for monitoring
and/or control, optimized head pressure control and the ability to function autonomously without the
need for an off the shelf thermostat. The ICE PCB comes equipped with LEDs to monitor lockouts for
independent circuits, which drastically reduces troubleshooting time and system downtime. Lockout
contacts are also provided along with the alarms being transferred via MODBUS.
This chapter provides the necessary information for installing and operating the ICE PCB.
The diagram below identifies the inputs, outputs and connections for the ICE PCB.

2.2 Installation and Replacement


The PCB is factory installed. To install a replacement PCB, use the six mounting holes along with the
appropriate screw size to firmly secure the board to the control box. After this is achieved, follow the
wiring diagram and pin configuration for the respective system for appropriate operation. Ensure that
the terminals used do not make any unwanted electrical connection (via strands etc.) with any other
terminals. Please allow a 1” creepage distance between the board and all other adjacent electrical
components.

Power
The ICE PCB requires 24 VAC to operate. When the board is sufficiently powered, the “PWR” status
light on the PCB illuminates “Green.” If there is insufficient power to the board, the “STATUS 1”
and “STATUS 2” flashes continuously. Insufficient power to the board will result in no outputs being
energized.

Setting the Speed for the Y1 and Y2 Operation for Indoor Motor
Put Bridge Jumper between the “Y1 pin and center pin” shown in the figure below. Use the potentiometer
marked “IBM SPEED” to set the required speed for first stage cooling (Y1 request). Note that the type
of control signal required by the motor must be set and the appropriate signal terminations must be used.
This jumper will be factory installed. In replacing the PCB, verify the necessary signal and configure
the board accordingly. Only 2 of the 3 pins should be used for the necessary configurations. DO NOT
CONNECT ALL 3 PINS.

Communication
The ICE PCB comes equipped with MODBUS communication standard. There are 2 adjacent MODBUS
communication ports connected in parallel. That is, both ports transmit the same information. The dif-
ference between the ports is the physical connection. One port is for RS-485 (3 wire shielded cable is
recommended) and the other port is RJ-11. The board allows you to set the Baud Rate at 9600 bits per
second or 19200 bits per second. The board also allows 15 different MODBUS addresses based on the
position of the “NET ADDRESS” DIP switches. The Net Addresses are written in Binary (see table
below) with switch 4 being the least significant bit. THE NUMBERS ON THE DIP SWITCHES
DO NOT CORRELATE TO MODBUS ADDRESSES. The figure below shows the positions of the
various components necessary to set up communication on the on the PCB.

All equipment should go through the recommended commissioning/start up sequence
to ensure safety and system reliability. This document is only valid if the system is
used as intended.

05/2021 Rev.2
Equipment, devices and necessary system components are specified in the respective section.
Note:
1. All inputs on the Controller go through a 5 seconds Time-On Delay to prevent nuisance request.
Compressor Outputs go through 5 seconds staggered Time On delay to prevent nuisance tripping
of breaker due to the inrush associated with these large inductive loads.
2. Normal Operating Mode describes a mode in which there are no active faults which would inter-
rupt the operation of the system.
3. A control voltage being “High” describes the event in which 24VAC is supplied to that input.
Conversely, a “Low” control signal describes an event in which less than 5VAC is supplied to the
1.0 – Blower Operation
A request for Fan Only (independent G-signal via Digital input or MODBUS), results in the indoor motor
turning “ON” and operating at the “Y2” motor speed (Only Applicable for EC motors). See Installation/
Operation manual to see how to set the speeds for the various operations. As long as there is a request
for Fan (G-input High or a request for Indoor Fan Only via MODBUS), the indoor motor will continue
to operate at the Y2 speed setpoint.
When there is a request for Indoor Fan (G-input High) along with a request for cooling, heating or
dehumidification, the G-Input becomes lowest priority. This means that in any combination involving
the G-input, the speed associated to Fan Only will never take precedence.
The priority list from Highest to Lowest goes as follows:
1. Stage 2 Cooling Request (Y2-Input)
2. Stage 1 Cooling Request (Y1-Input)
3. Electric Heat Request (W2-Input)
4. Dehumidification Request (Hum-Input)
5. Indoor Fan Request (G-Input)
Note – The priority list above also describes the operation that takes precedence in the event that there
is a request for all operations or a combination of operations. The controller will NOT energize the
compressor outputs and the heater output simultaneously.
The speed at which the Indoor Fan Operates during Stage 1 (Y1) and Stage 2 (Y2) Cooling Request
can be set directly at the board using the jumper associated to the “Y1” and “Y2” pin. All other requests
run at 80% of Y2 speed except for the lone G-input which runs at the Y2 speed settings. All requests
are interlocked with the Indoor Fan and will run the Fan at the respective speed associated with the
operation. This means that a lone call for Stage 1 (Y1) Cooling will automatically run the Indoor Fan
at Stage 1 (Y1) Cooling Speed even without a request for Indoor Fan. This holds true for all request.
2.0 – Cooling Operation
2.1– Mechanical Cooling
This section will describe the sequence of operation which takes place during Direct Expansion (DX)
cooling from a control standpoint.
2.1.1 Y1 Cooling (Partial Capacity 50-60%)
In normal operating mode, a request for “Stage 1 Cooling (Y-input)” via MODBUS, Digital Input
or Onboard Thermostat, energizes Compressor 1 Relay Output (CC1) on the PCB. The controller
provides a continuous control signal associated to the Indoor Fan Motor, that is proportional to the
“Y1” speed setting on the board or via MODBUS. It also outputs a request dependent (based on
FCC IN) control signal for the Outdoor Fan Motor. In Stage 1 Cooling operation, the compressor
ICE CEA/CGA1012–1060 Wall Mount AC I&O Manual 24
05/2021 Rev.2
and the indoor fan remains on continuously but the outdoor fan cycles based on head pressure.
The Fan Cycle Control Switch (Low Ambient Control Switch) closes at 400 PSIG to set the “FCC
IN” input High which in turn outputs a speed proportional to the “OFM Speed” setting on the
board or by MODBUS. This brings on the outdoor fan which runs until the switch reopens (at
290 PSIG). These outputs function as described until the Cooling setpoint is satisfied.
2.1.2 Y2 Cooling (Partial Capacity 50%)
If the space temperature continues to increase pass the defined differential, Stage 2 Cooling (Y2-
input) is energized. Under normal operation, this energizes the Compressor 2 Output (CC2). The
Indoor Fan motor, will operate at “Y2” speed instead of “Y1” speed since Y2 has higher priority.
These outputs remain energized until the cooling setpoint is satisfied. Once the setpoint is satisfied,
the Compressor and the Outdoor fan outputs are de-energized. The Indoor motor continues to run
for 90 seconds after the operation.
2.1.3 Y1 and Y2 Cooling (Full Capacity)
In the event that both Y1 and Y2 inputs are triggered, both CC1 and CC2 outputs are energized
under normal conditions. The Indoor Fan motor, will operate at “Y2 speed” since Y2 has higher
priority. Outputs described in the partial cooling operation above continue to function as described
until the cooling setpoint is satisfied. Once the setpoint is satisfied, the Compressor and the Outdoor
fan outputs are de-energized. The Indoor motor continues to run for 90 seconds after the operation.
Note: With staged compressors, a CC2 output without a CC1 output will neither result in partial
capacity nor full capacity. Only CC1 output can achieve partial capacity. Both CC1 and CC2
outputs are required to achieve full capacity.
Request Active Input Active Output
Stage 1 Cooling (1 Fixed Compressor) Y1 CC1 (Partial Capacity)
Stage 1 Cooling (2 Fixed Compressors) Y1 or Y2 CC1 or CC2 Respectively (Partial Capacity)
Stage 1 Cooling (1 Staged Compressor) Y1 CC1 (Partial Capacity)
Stage 2 Cooling (2 Fixed Compressors) Y1 + Y2 CC1 + CC2 (Full Capacity)
Stage 2 Cooling (2 Staged Compressors) Y1 + Y2 CC1 + CC2 (Full Capacity)
CC1 But the compressors will not run without CC1
Stage 2 Cooling (2 Staged Compressors) Y2
being active. No Cooling.

3.0– Heating
3.1– Electric Heat
When there is a request for “Heating (W2-Input High)” via MODBUS, Digital Input or On-board
Thermostat, the HVAC unit will run the Indoor Motor for 10 seconds prior to energizing the Heater
Output. Once the Heater output is energized, the Heater comes on at full capacity (no staging). The
Heater will remain on until the Heating setpoint is satisfied and the request is dropped. Once the heat-
ing setpoint is satisfied, the Indoor Fan will continue to run for 90 seconds while all other associated
outputs are de-energized. Indoor Fan will default at 80% of Y2 speed.
4.0– Dehumidification
4.1– Independent Reheat Output
A request for “Dehumidification (Hum – Input High)” via MODBUS or Digital input will result in
the control board energizing the Compressor 1 (CC1), Compressor 2 (CC2) and the Reheat (RH)
relay outputs on the board. It also produces a continuous control signal for the Indoor Fan Motor that
is proportional to the 80% (default) of the Y2 speed. The Outdoor Fan Motor is request dependent
(based on “FCC IN” Input) and outputs a signal proportional to board or MODBUS setting when the
“FCC IN” input is High. The board continues to produce these outputs until the Dehumidification
request is dropped. Once this request is dropped, the Indoor Fan Motor continues to run for 90 seconds.

05/2021 Rev.2
5.0 – Refrigeration Protection
5.1– High Pressure Lockout
This condition describes the abnormal rise in Head Pressure pass the system acceptable limit of 660
PSI (+/-20PSI). The fault will only be active when the High-Pressure Switch (Normally Closed)
opens during a request for Cooling. The first time this fault condition occurs, the system cuts the
compressor off WITHOUT locking out. Once the pressure normalizes (drops below 450 PSI), the
system will resume operation if the cooling call still exist. If this fault occurs a second time on the
same Cooling request, the system locks out. Lockouts can be monitored using the Status 1 and Status
2 LEDs. These LEDs correspond to a particular circuit and has a flash sequence associated to the
various faults. The faults can also be monitored via MODBUS by reading the respective value based
on the MODBUS map that is provided. After this lockout condition is reached, the cooling call must
be cycled (on/off of respective cooling request) or the system must be power cycled to clear the fault.
For a 2-compressor system, each lockout is isolated to the respective circuit and will not interfere
with the operation of the other circuit providing that the circuits operate independently. The system
will continue to lockout until the problem is rectified.
5.2– Low Pressure Lockout
This condition describes the abnormal fall in Suction Pressure below 40PSIG (+/- 5PSIG). This fault
will only be active when the Low-Pressure Switch (Normally Closed) opens up during a request for
Cooling. The Low-Pressure Switch is bypassed on the initial call for cooling for 3 minutes to allow
low ambient start-up of the system. Once these 3 minutes have elapsed, if the switch is still open,
the system cuts the compressor off. Once the pressure normalizes, the system will restart the cooling
operation. In the event that the fault occurs a second time on the same call for cooling, the system
locks out. To clear the fault, the Cooling request must be cycled or the system must be power cycled.
Status LEDs with associated flash codes or designated MODBUS values can be monitored to verify
this fault. The system will continue to lockout unit the problem is rectified.
5.3– Low Voltage
In the event that the board is experiencing low voltage (less than 20 Volts), both Status 1 and Status 2
LEDs flashes continuously (see LED Status Indicators). The board will not energize any outputs until
this problem is rectified. This fault can be monitored at the board level via LEDs or via MODBUS.
5.4– Anti-Short Cycle
This is a built-in protection mechanism that increases the reliability of the compressor by protecting
it from excessive short cycling. When the compressor goes off, due to any fault, emergency or if the
cooling setpoint is satisfied, a built-in 3-minute timer locks the compressor for that respective circuit
out. This can be monitored via MODBUS by referencing the appropriate register. However, it can
only be monitored at the board level by waiting for the 3 minutes to elapse.
6.0 – Additional Features
5.1 – MODBUS Communication
To control the board via MODBUS, the board ID must be non-zero. “Zero” a MODBUS ID represents
local control which allows the board to be controlled at the board level by Digital thermostatic inputs.
If the MODBUS ID is non-zero, the board ignores all inputs from the board and inputs used are based
on the MODBUS registers associated to the various Digital Inputs and Registers. Read Only registers
and Coils can still be monitored but all read/write values MUST be configured at the MODBUS
register/coil level and NOT at the board level.
The sequence of operation is the same as described above for the various operation, but Indoor
Motor speeds for various operation, Outdoor Motor Speed, Heating Setpoint and Cooling Setpoint (if
applicable) has to be configured via MODBUS. See MODBUS register tables at the end of this section.
ICE CEA/CGA1012–1060 Wall Mount AC I&O Manual 26
05/2021 Rev.2
5.2 – Modulating Head Pressure Control
A 10K Nominal NTC Thermistor is connected to the “P1” and “P2” inputs for circuit 1 and circuit 2
respectively. When this sensor is connected, the “FCC IN” is ignored and the thermistor value is used
as the process variable when controlling the head pressure. The controller modulates the Outdoor Fan
Motor to maintain a 90ºF temperature setpoint. The controller will always use the greater value of P1
and P2 input as the reference point. In the event that the Thermistor is disconnected, the controller
reverts to the “FCC IN” input to control the Head Pressure of the system.
5.3– Freeze Stat
A 10K Nominal NTC Thermistor is connected to the “FS1” input on the PCB. If the Thermistor is
not connected, freeze protection will not be provided. If the Thermistor is connected, the control will
provide the freeze protection by turning the compressor Off at a temperature of 35ºF (+/- 2ºF) on the
Indoor Coil. The compressor will remain Off until the temperature measured is greater than 45ºF and
the anti-short cycle time has elapsed.
5.4– Onboard Thermostat
The Onboard Thermostat requires a 10K NTC thermistor to be connected to the “FS2” input. It also
requires that the MODBUS functionality is enabled via MODBUS. The Heating Setpoint, Cooling
Setpoint and Calibration of the sensor has to be configured via MODBUS. Once configuration is
complete, the unit has the capability to function autonomously to maintain the space temperature.

3.4 Porting and Duct Work
General Information
Note: The following instructions are for general guidance only. Due to the wide variety of installation
possibilities, specific instructions will not be given. When in doubt, follow standard and accepted
installation practices, or contact Technical Support for additional assistance.
Wall Openings (CEA1012 air conditioner, all CEA1024-1060, and all CEA1030-1060)
Measure the dimensions of the supply and return ports on the unit.
Cut the openings in the exterior wall for the supply and return. IMPORTANT: All units with electric
heat must have 1" (25.4mm) clearance on all four sides of the supply outlet duct flange on the
unit. The 1" (25.4mm) clearance must extend on all sides of the supply duct for the first 3 feet (1
meter) from the unit.
IMPORTANT: ICE requires a minimum of 1" (25.4mm) from the surface of any supply ducts to
combustible material for the first 3 feet (1 meter) of the duct.
Wall Openings (CEA1012 air conditoners with the factory installed economizer)
The back panel of the one ton air conditioner with the factory installed economizer is designed to have
a single opening for the supply and return air. From the factory, the back panel is configured for a 19”W
x 21”H (483 mm x 533 mm) opening, but can be easily changed in the field for a 28”W x 19”H (711
mm x 483 mm) opening. Note: the opening is larger than the wall sleeve to allow a one inch clearance
on all four sides of the wall sleeve to any combustible material. This clearance is required per National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards 90A & 90B for any unit with electric heat.
ICE CEA/CGA1012–1060 Wall Mount AC I&O Manual 32
05/2021 Rev.2
To change the back panel to use with a 28” x 19” (711 mm x 483 mm) opening, see the instructions
below.
Changing the back panel for use with a 19”W x 21”H (483 mm x 533 mm) wall opening.
Note: Changing the back panel must be done before the unit is mounted on the enclosure.
1. When facing the supply and return air opening, locate the side duct flanges on either side of the
opening. Each flange is held in position with four screws, two on the side, one at the top and one
at the bottom.
2. Remove the screws and slide the duct flange out so that the holes in the duct flange aligns with
the holes for the larger opening.
3. Replace the eight screws – four on each duct flange.

Wall Sleeve for CEA1012 one ton air conditioners with an economizer
A wall sleeve is required for all installations of the CEA1012 one ton air conditioner if equipped with
an economizer. The wall sleeve has a horizontal divider panel to separate the supply and return air.
If the opening is 19”W x 21”H the wall sleeve, part number S/12544 is required. The S/12544 wall
sleeve has outside dimensions of 17”W x 19”H. If the opening is 28” x 19” (711 mm x 483 mm), the
wall sleeve, part number S/01784 is required. The S/01784 wall sleeve has outside dimensions of 26”
x 17” (660 mm x 432 mm).
For all air conditioners with electric heat, the wall sleeve MUST have 1” (25.4 mm) clearance around
all four sides of the opening. Attach the perimeter flange of the wall sleeve to the framed opening
with appropriately sized screws. Since electric heat can be added after the unit has been installed, ICE
recommends that all installations have the 1” (25.4 mm) clearance around the wall sleeve.
When installing the wall sleeve, the supply opening must be on top. The supply opening is smaller than
the return air opening.

Ducting
Extensions should be cut flush with the inside wall for applications without duct work.
Applications using duct work should be designed and installed in accordance with all applicable safety
codes and standards. ICE strongly recommends referring to the current edition of the National Fire
Protection Association Standards 90A and 90B before designing and installing duct work. The duct
system must be engineered to insure sufficient air flow through the unit to prevent over-heating of the
heater element. This includes proper supply duct sizing, sufficient quantity of supply registers, adequate
return and filter area. Ductwork must be of correct material and must be properly insulated. Duct work
must be constructed of galvanized steel with a minimum thickness of .019 inches for the first 3 feet (1
meter). Ductwork must be firmly attached, secured and sealed to prevent air leakage. Do not use duct
liner on inside of supply duct within 4 feet (122cm) of the unit.
Galvanized metal duct extensions should be used to simplify connections to duct work and grilles. Use
fabric boots to prevent the transmission of vibration through the duct system. The fabric must be U.L.
rated to a minimum of 197°F (92°C).
Minimum Airflow Requirements
The duct system must be engineered to assure sufficient air flow through the unit even under adverse
conditions such as dirty filters, etc. Use Table 6 below and Table 1, CFM at External Static Pressure
(Wet Coil) in section 1.4.

3.6 Bracket Installation
1. All models have built-in mounting flanges.
2. Apply a bead of silicone sealer on the wall side of the bottom support brackets on the unit. Circle
the mounting holes with the silicone bead.
3. Refer to Figure 4. Attach the bottom support bracket to the wall using appropriate 3/8" diameter
hardware. Note: the CEA1012 air conditioners do not require a bottom support bracket.
For example, on wooden structures, use 3/8" x 2-1/2" all-thread lag screws. The screws must penetrate
the center of the wall stud. Drill a pilot hole in the stud to prevent it from splitting.

3.7 Mounting The Unit


1. For wiring into the back of unit, locate the lower of the two knockouts on the wall side of the unit.
Drill a one inch hole in the shelter wall to match this opening. Allow sufficient clearance to run
3/4" conduit through the hole and to the unit.
2. Using an appropriate and safe lifting device, set the unit on the bottom support bracket mounted
on the wall. You must stabilize the unit on the bracket with the lifting device or by some other
means - the bracket alone is not sufficient.
3. Make sure that the duct flanges are properly aligned with the wall opening. Adjust as necessary.
4. Note the holes in each side flange. Using the holes for guides, drill holes through the wall with a
3/8" drill bit. Insert the 3/8" x 5" bolts through the flanges. Install nuts and washers on the inside
of the shelter. Tighten the bolts to secure the unit.
5. Apply a bead of silicone where the mounting flange contacts the unit and the shelter wall.
6. On the inside of the shelter, install the wall sleeves in the supply and return air openings. The sleeves
may be trimmed to fit flush with the inside wall.
7. Check the fit of each sleeve to its mating flange for possible air leaks. Apply silicone sealer to close
any gaps. Install the air return and supply grilles.

3.8 Electrical Connections

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death, and/or
property damage.
Turn off electrical power at fuse box or service panel BEFORE making any electrical
connections and ensure a proper ground connection is made before connecting line
voltage.
Important
All electrical work must meet the requirements of local codes and ordinances. Work should be
done only by qualified persons.
ICE units may incorporate an internal crankcase heater for compressor protection. The crankcase
heater must be energized for at least 24 hours prior to starting the compressor.
Scroll compressors, like several other types of compressors, will only compress in one rotational direction.
The direction of rotation is not an issue with single-phase compressors since they will always start and
run in the proper direction. However, three phase compressors will rotate in either direction depending
upon phasing of power. Since there is a 50-50 chance of connecting power in such a way as to cause
rotation in the reverse direction, it is imperative to confirm that the compressor is rotating in the proper
direction at the initial field start-up of the system. Verification of proper rotation is made by observing
ICE CEA/CGA1012–1060 Wall Mount AC I&O Manual 36

that the suction pressure drops and the discharge pressure rises when the compressor is energized. An
alternate method of verification for self contained system with small critical refrigerant charges, where
the installation of gauges may be objectionable, can be made by monitoring the temperature of the
refrigerant lines at the compressor. The temperature should rise on the discharge line while the suction
line temperature decreases. Reverse rotation also results in a substantially reduced current draw when
compared to tabulated values.
There is no negative impact on durability caused by operating three phase compressors in the reversed
direction for a short duration of time, usually defined as less than one hour. However, after several
minutes of operation the compressor's internal protector will trip. The compressor will then cycle on
the protector until the phasing is corrected. Reverse operation for longer than one hour may have a
negative impact on the bearings.
To change the rotation, turn off power to the unit and reverse L1 & L2 at the disconnect in the air
conditioner.
High Voltage Wiring - (Single Units)
The power supply should have the proper voltage, phase, and ampacity for the selected model.
1. Refer to the electrical data on the data sticker on the unit for field wiring requirements of the unit.
Size the incoming power supply lines and the fuse(s) or HACR breaker(s) according to requirements
described in the National Electric Code. Run the power conductors through the knockouts on the
side or back of the unit. Use appropriate conduit and strain reliefs.

CAUTION
Note: Power supply service must be within allowable range (+10% - 5%) of rated
voltage stamped on the unit rating plate. To operate nominal 230/208V unit at 208V,
change the transformer line tap from 240V to 208V following the instruction on
wiring label in unit.
2. Connect the wires to the input side of the internal breaker or terminal block (L1 & L2 for single-
phase units; L1, L2, & L3 for three-phase models).
3. Install the ground wire on the ground lug.
4. For units designed for operation on 208/230V, 60Hz power supply, the transformer is factory wired
for a 230V power supply. For a 208V power supply, remove the orange lead from the transformer
and connect the red lead. Insulate the orange lead.
5. 460V units have a step down transformer for 230V motors.

CAUTION
The external breaker(s) that provide power to the air conditioner must be sized per
the maximum Fuse Size (MFS) shown on the Unit's data label.

05/2021 Rev.2
Dual Unit Phasing
For applications where one controller operates two units, e.g., the CommStat 4 or CommStat Touch
HVAC controller.
Newer HVAC controllers sunch as the CommStat do not require unit phasing. However, if other devices
are connected to the control system, phasing of the air conditioner is required. Earlier models; i.e.,
LL357, LL357A, LL357D2 require the unit to be properly phased.
1. Wire each unit as described in steps 1 through 4 above.
2. Test for proper phasing as follows:
A. Power up the units.
B. Using an AC volt meter set to the 300 volt scale, measure voltage between terminal L1 on
the compressor contactor of unit #1 and terminal L1 on the compressor contactor of unit #2 If
voltage is present, units are wired out of phase and must be rewired.
C. If units are not in phase, turn off power and reverse the field power leads connected to the
internal circuit breaker on one of the units only.
D. Restore power and retest the phase (step B). When the voltage reads "0", the units are in phase.
E. Turn off power and proceed.
Low Voltage Wiring
IMPORTANT. The following instructions are generic wiring instructions and may not be applicable
for air conditioners with various options. Always refer to the wiring diagram in the air conditioner for
the proper method to wire your unit.
1. On single units, pull the low voltage wiring (e.g., 18 gauge 4-conductor Class 2 thermostat wire)
from the ComPac unit into the thermostat / subbase assembly. See Figure 9b for connections to
various thermostats.
2. Mount the thermostat on the wall of the shelter. The thermostat should be located so that the supply
air from the unit does NOT blow directly on to the thermostat. Connect the thermostat to the terminal
block in the air conditioner as shown in Figures 9a and 9b.
3. On dual units, refer to the CommStat Touch, CommStat 4 or CommStat 3 HVAC Controller Specification
sheet. Level and install the controller subbase. Wire the two A/C units to the Lead/Lag Controller,
according to the wiring diagram on the specification sheet and as shown in Figure 9c or 9d (note:
the diagram also appears on the back cover of the controller).
Remote Signalling: Terminals 5 & 7(N.O.) and 6 & 7 (N.C.) on the terminal board are dry contacts which
can be used for remote signalling in the event of a/c cutoff on low or high pressure limit.
Continuous fan operation: For continuous indoor fan operation on single units, install a jumper between
terminals 8 and 3. For continuous indoor fan operation on dual units using the older LL357D4, install
jumper between 8 and 3 and remove jumper between 1 and 3.
CommStat 4 Lead /Lag Controller
Please refer to the Product Data sheet for the Commstat 4 controller for complete instructions
on installing and programming this controller.
CommStat 3 Controller (See Figure 8d)
The CommStat 3 Controller is a solid state control package designed to operate a fully or
partially redundant air conditioning system for a telecommunication cabinet or shelter. The
CommStat 3 Controller is factory programmed with standard industry set points to facilitate installation.
If desired, each of the set points can be quickly and easily changed in the field by the installer. It can be
used with the ComPac's unique vertical packaged wall mount air conditioners or other environmental
control units. See CommStat 3 Product Data Sheet for installation and programming instructions.

Chapter 4 Start-Up
4.1 Check-Out of Cooling Cycle
Important: Be sure that the crankcase heater (if used) has been energized for at least 24 hours
before starting the unit(s). Double-check all electrical connections before applying power. ICE air
conditioners with scroll compressors running on 3Ø power must be checked for proper rotation
during the initial start-up. Please refer to Section 2.8 for determining if the 3Ø compressors are
rotating correctly. Incorrect rotation can damage the compressor and is not covered by the warranty
Procedure:
1. Set the cooling set point temperature on the wall thermostat to a point higher than the ambient
temperature. Set the heating set point temperature to a temperature that is lower than the ambient.
2. Set the thermostat system switch in the AUTO position. Nothing should operate at this time.
3. Set the time delay in the electrical control box to three minutes. Check the changeover setting of the
enthalpy or dry bulb sensor and reset it if needed (economizer-equipped models only). See Section
1.6.
4. Slowly lower the thermostat's cooling set point temperature until the switch closes. The indoor fan
should operate.
Once the indoor fan turns on, allow approximately three minutes for the compressor to start. Note that
the outdoor fan may not come on immediately, because it is cycled by refrigerant pressures.
NOTE: (Economizer-Equipped models only) To check the system operation under different ambient
conditions, the air temperature and enthalpy sensors must be "tricked". When outdoor ambient condi-
tions are higher than the control setting, a component cooler aerosol may be sprayed directly into the
enthalpy sensor to simulate low enthalpy conditions, causing the economizer damper to open.
Alternately, when outdoor conditions are lower than the set point, a source of heat such as a hair dryer
can be directed on the air temperature sensor to simulate warmer conditions, which will bring on
mechanical cooling and start the compressor.
5. To stop cooling, slowly raise the thermostat cooling set point to a temperature higher than the
ambient.
If the unit fails to operate, refer to the troubleshooting information in Chapter 4.
Follow the same procedure for additional units.
NOTE: The fan purge allows the indoor fan to run for approximately 90 seconds after the compressor
is off. This operation provides a small improvement in system rated efficiency.

4.2 Check-Out of Heating Cycle


Procedure: (Applies only to units with resistance elements)
1. Raise the heating set point temperature to a setting which is higher than the ambient temperature.
The fan and electric heat should immediately cycle on.
2. Move the system switch to the "OFF" position. All functions should stop.
NOTE: (Economizer Equipped models only) The damper blade should remain closed during the
heating cycle (unless the minimum position potentiometer has been set for constant ventilation A fully
counterclockwise position corresponds to full closure of the damper.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
5.1 Overview
A comprehensive understanding of the operation of the ICE air conditioner is a prerequisite to trouble-
shooting. Please read the Chapter 1 for basic information about the unit.
ICE air conditioners are thoroughly tested before they are shipped from the factory. Although unlikely,
it is possible that a defect may escape undetected, or damage may have occurred during transportation.
However, the great majority of problems result from installation errors.
If you experience difficulties with your unit, please review the installation steps in Chapter 2.
Much time can be saved by taking a thoughtful and orderly approach to troubleshooting. Start with a
visual check - are there loose wires, crimped tubing, missing parts, etc? Begin deeper analysis only
after making this initial inspection.
The troubleshooting information in this manual is basic. The troubleshooting section contains problem/
solution charts for general problems, followed by a compressor section.
Not every problem can be anticipated. If you discover a problem that is not covered in this manual, we
would be very grateful if you would bring it to the attention of our service department for incorporation
in future revisions.
As always, please exercise caution and good judgement when servicing the unit. Use only safe and
proven service techniques. Use refrigeration goggles when servicing the refrigeration circuit.

WARNING
The refrigerant circuit has hot surfaces, and the electrical voltages inside of
the unit may be hazardous or lethal. SERVICE MAY BE PERFORMED ONLY BY
QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED PERSONS.

5.3 Compressor Troubleshooting


NOTE: It is important to rule out other component failures before condemning the compressor.
The following electrical tests will aid diagnosis:

ICE CEA/CGA1012–1060 Wall Mount AC I&O Manual 42


05/2021 Rev.2
1. Start-Up Voltage: Measure the voltage at the compressor contactor during start-up. The voltage
must exceed the minimum shown in Table 5, section 2.2, or compressor failure is likely. A low
voltage condition must be corrected.
2. Running Amperage: Connect a clip-on type ammeter to the (common) lead to the compressor. Turn
on the supply voltage and energize the unit. The compressor will initially draw high amperage; it
should soon drop to the RLA value or less. If the amperage stays high, check the motor winding
resistances.
NOTE: Feel the top of the compressor to see if it has overheated. If it is hot, the internal overload
may be open. You may have to wait several hours for it to reset.
3. Motor Winding Resistances: Using a digital volt-ohm meter (VOM), measure the resistance across
the compressor windings as shown below.

SINGLE C THREE T1
PHASE R3 > R2 > R1 PHASE R3 = R2 = R1
R2 R1 R2 R1
R3 = R2 + R1
S R3 R T2 R3 T3

Resistance can be measured as shown above. Any deviation from above values could indicate a
defective compressor.
4. High Voltage/Insulation Test: Test internal leakage with a megoh­meter. Attach one lead to the
compressor case on a bare metal tube and to each compressor terminal to test the motor windings.
A short circuit at high voltages indicates a motor defect. Do not do this test under vacuum.
5. On single phase models, check the capacitor by substitution.

5.4 Control Board Diagnosis


The control board (see section 1.6a for a complete description of the control board) has a red diagnostic
LED which indicates the lockout fault. The control board will enter into and indicate lockout if either
of the fault conditions (LPS or HPS) occur twice.
The contactor must be closed before the first fault condition can be recognized by the control board.
The contactor will be closed 3 minutes after the unit is energized and only if cooling is required. The
first fault condition will open the contactor and shutdown the unit. The contactor on the unit that has
the fault condition must be closed before the second fault condition can be recognized by the control
board. The contactor on the unit with the fault condition will close after 3 minutes if the unit is still
calling for cooling and if the fault condition no longer exists. If you get a second fault condition, the
contactor will open and shutdown the unit. The “red” led will have one blink if the high pressure switch
has opened twice and will have two blinks if the low pressure switch has opened twice. The unit must
be in the cooling mode (compressor contactor Closed) before a fault condition can occur.

05/2021 Rev.2
Chapter 6 Maintenance
6.1 Scheduled Maintenance
Airxcel Commercial Group strongly recommends that the air conditioner be serviced a minimum
of twice a year – once prior to the heating season and once prior to the cooling season. At this time
the filters, evaporator coil, condenser coil, the cabinet, and condensate drains should be serviced as
described below. Also at this time, the air conditioner should be operated in the cooling and heating
cycles as described in Chapter 3, Start-Up. In addition to this seasonal check-out, the ComPac® should
be maintained as follows:
Air Filter
Replace the air filter whenever it is visibly dirty. Never operate the unit without the filter in place.
Evaporator
If the evaporator becomes clogged or dirty, it may be cleaned by careful vacuuming or with a com-
mercial evaporator cleaning spray. DO NOT use a solvent containing bleach, acetone, or flammable
substances. Turn off power before cleaning. Be careful not to wet any of the electrical components. Be
sure the unit has dried before restarting.
Condenser
Periodically inspect the outdoor condenser coil and the cabinet air reliefs for dirt or obstructions. Remove
foreign objects such as leaves, paper, etc.
If the condenser coil is dirty, it may be washed off with a commercial solvent intended for this purpose.
TURN OFF POWER BEFORE CLEANING! Be sure that all electrical components are thoroughly
dry before restoring power. Use a fin comb of the correct spacing to straighten mashed or bent fins.
Cabinet
The cabinet may be cleaned with a sponge and warm, soapy water or a mild detergent. Do not use
bleach, abrasive chemicals or harmful solvents.
Drains
Regularly check the primary and secondary condensate drains. The secondary drain has a stand pipe. An
obstruction will force water to dump into the middle of the unit and drain out the sides of the ComPac,
causing discoloration of the side panels. If discoloration is noted, service the drains.
If a commercial drain solvent is used, flush out the drain pan and system with plenty of fresh water to
prevent corrosion.
Lubrication
Oiling of the condenser fan motor or the evaporator blower motor is not recommended.

DANGER
Sever hazard. The economizer contains moving parts capable of causing serious
injury or death. Disconnect power before removing the covering panel.

(L1&L2 + L1&L3 + L2&L3)/3 = Avg. Voltage = _______________

Max. Deviation from avg. voltage = ______________volts

Voltage imbalance = (100 x Max. Deviation)/avg. Voltage = ___________%

A voltage deviation greater than 2% with the unit running should be addressed and corrected. Excess
voltage deviation can cause the compressor to overheat and to operate inefficiently.

Example: Maximum Deviation from Average Voltage X 100 (for Percent)


Average voltage
 
Measured Voltages:
L1 & L2 = 241 Volts
L1 & L3 = 243 Volts = 717 / 3 = 239 Average Voltage
L2 & L3 = 233 Volts

239 - 233 = 6
100 x 6/239 =2.5% Voltage Unbalance

Three phase units only check fan & compressor rotation.

APPENDIX A: Installation Instructions for Field Installed Electric Heat, Models 20-60

WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Improper adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance or installation could cause serious
injury, death and/or property damage.
Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons could result in hazards to you and
others. Installation MUST conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
codes of all governmental authorities have jurisdiction.
The information contained in this manual is intended for use by a qualified service
agency that is experienced in such work, is familiar with all precautions and safety
procedures required in such work, and is equipped with the proper tools and test
instruments.

Duct Work
General Information
Note: The following instructions are for general guidance only. Due to the wide variety of installation
possibilities, specific instructions will not be given. When in doubt, follow standard and accepted installation
practices, or contact Airxcel Commercial Group for additional assistance.
Wall Openings
Measure the dimensions of the supply and return ports on the unit.
Cut the openings in the exterior wall for the supply and return. IMPORTANT: All units with electric heat
must have 1" (25.4 mm) clearance on all four sides of the supply outlet duct flange on the unit. The 1"
(25.4 mm) clearance must extend on all sides of the supply duct for the first 3 feet (1 meter) from the unit.
IMPORTANT: ICE requires a minimum of 1" (25.4 mm) from the surface of any supply ducts to combustible
material for the first 3 feet (1 meter) of the duct.
Ducting
Extensions should be cut flush with the inside wall for applications without duct work.
Applications using duct work should be designed and installed in accordance with all applicable safety codes and
standards. ICE strongly recommends referring to the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association
Standards 90A and 90B before designing and installing duct work. The duct system must be engineered to
insure sufficient air flow through the unit to prevent over-heating of the heater element. This includes proper
supply duct sizing, sufficient quantity of supply registers, adequate return and filter area. Ductwork must be
of correct material and must be properly insulated. Duct work must be constructed of galvanized steel with
a minimum thickness of .019 inches for the first 3 feet (1 meter). Ductwork must be firmly attached, secured
and sealed to prevent air leakage. Do not use duct liner on inside of supply duct within 4 feet (122 cm) of the
unit. Galvanized metal duct extensions should be used to simplify connections to duct work and grilles. Use
fabric boots to prevent the transmission of vibration through the duct system. The fabric must be U.L. rated
to a minimum of 197°F (92°C).
